[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1021899, member: 221545"] Likewise! I had stopped Gliclazide as there appeared to be little or no effect, but that was prior to going low carb. After about 6 weeks of success on that diet, i went back on Gliclazide to see if it would be more effective now my diet was under control, particularly to see if it would make a dent in the one area where there was little improvement - my post steroid spike. At first there was what looked like a marked difference. I then made the mistake of trying BM at the same time, which also seemed to make an immediate impact - but, how did I know what was really working? Gliclazide, BM, neither? So, after a while, I stopped the BM, but my readings recently have been a bit odd and my control is shot to hell..so I have just stopped both to see whet my readings are like. Once they are balanced (if they are..), I'll rethink. I should have tried them one at a time...I'll get back to it, but I'm not sure the Gliclazide alone is helping, and actually think figures before all this were easier to read and I had more control..and..less stomach problems! I sympathise. Frustrating as hell. [/QUOTE]
